I’m going to start posting about books I’ve read and what I think about them.

I am always up for suggestions on what to read. Going to the library with all of those spines facing me, I can never make an informed choice. I end up with a stack of books that I only read the first few pages of and then return because they stink. 

Hopefully, these posts will help others with the same library/bookstore dilemma.

Then again maybe it won’t. It’s difficult to know what books people like to read.

Book: Llama Llama Mad at Mama

Author: Anna Dewdney

Category: Picture Book

What I like: This book is hilarious (and so is the author’s last name). I laughed so hard in the bookstore I almost cried. Ryan was completely confused why I liked it so much. I will tell you. The book is written in simple rhymes, and it’s all about a baby llama who has to go shopping with his mama llama. He grows impatient and starts throwing a tantrum in the store. The premise is very relatable, but the illustrations are what make this picture book. The llama looks so grumpy, I can’t help but laugh. Plus all is well in the end because what llama doesn’t love his mama.

What I don’t like: The price. It cost me $20 to have this book in my personal library. I suggest renting from the public library if you want to read this book.
